Good ol' mechanics

Well, here's the story about our car. We were going to Idaho Falls for our anniversary dinner and everything was fine. We get off the exit and our car sounded really strange. We pulled off the road and noticed that the engine looked like it was shaking and we noticed a hose was cracked. We took it into a mechanic who said we have a hole in our exhaust that will cost 400 dollars and they have to do a tune up that costs 500 dollars. We thought that seemed a little expensive and we have a friend from the ward who worked as an automechanic for a while so he knows what he is doing. Treven and him called in to the place today to see exactly everything that they were planning on doing in the "tune up" and found out that Treven and our friend can do everything that needs to be done except one thing that won't cost a lot to have them do. Anyway! we are going to go pick the car up today to do what we need to do for it and then take it back to them to do the part we need them to do. If that story was boring to any of you.... sorry!
We have about 2 weeks left of school and then we will be done until January. Treven is looking for a full time second job for the fall right now. Melaleuca has some openings so I am hoping he gets in there. Melia is doing great... she is definitely growing though! I can't get any comfortable position at night. Oh! and Treven and I had to get used to the full size bed again after the reunion. We got used to the King.
We are heading down to Salt Lake City this weekend with some friends to go to a waterpark in SLC. We will be staying with our friends that live at Thanksgiving point so that will be fun. On the 19th I am going to Laura Warner's reception (from San Diego) in Idaho Falls which will be fun to see her and her family.
That is really all that is going on currently with us. 12 more weeks to go with Melia. It is crazy to think about! Well, love you all.

  1. Hey Kim,
    I hate car problems and feeling so vulnerable to being ripped off! My sister's bishop at BYU-I works at a repair shop near her apartment so she takes her car there and obviously feels pretty good that they are being honest with her. If you have more car trouble let me know and I can get you the name and number! Good luck!
